The Information File

The .INF file defines monitor resources used by Microsoft Windows operating systems to ensure monitor compatibility with the computer’s graphics adapter.

This monitor is Microsoft Windows Plug and Play compatible and the monitor will work correctly without installing the .INF file. Monitor Plug and Play compatibility requires that the computer’s graphic card is VESA DDC2–compliant and that the monitor connects directly to the graphics card. Plug and Play does not work through separate BNC type connectors or through distribution buffers/boxes.

The Image Color Matching File

The .ICM files are data files that are used in conjunction with graphics programs to provide consistent color matching from monitor screen to printer, or from scanner to monitor screen. These files are activated from within graphics programs that support this feature.

NOTE: The ICM color profile is written in accordance with the International Color Consortium (ICC) Profile Format specification.

Installing the .INF and .ICM Files

If you need to the .INF, .ICM, or driver files, you can install them from the CD or download them from the internet.
